For a big man duhan der merwe is incredibly fast, Anthony Watson looks good alongside furlong sinckler and beirne lions looking sharp
VDM joins a long line of big, fast wingers with limited rugby IQ
Will only make Test 23 due to lots of injuries
-
Commentators just called fellow-commentator Miles Harrison "The Voice of the Lions" and "the best in the business". WTF?
Harrison is to commentary what Mike Catt is to tackling Jonah Lomu - useless.

Oh the guy they were just talking about was named rookie of the year in the aretayrawa rugby awards huh 🤦
We might mock Wimpie's size but he hits like someone twice his size.
Himeno!!
Man's a beast. If he was NZ-born I'd expect him to be pushing for a place in the AB 23.

Himeno. Seriously classy player.
EDIT: Thought the words the commentato used were "Hey O'Toole's a rower"...

To be honest I think him and Jacobson are almost clones in the way they play. So fingers crossed.

AWJ gooone. At least for a while.

AWJ has dislocated his shoulder. Not travelling with the squad. Not definitely out for the Tests. Gatland will need to find a new Tour Captain.
Players voted for Farrell
Biggar, Farrell, Henshaw as 10, 12, 13

Looks like broken radius too for AWJ
Doneski
Please get him in the studio if that’s the case -

Gutted for the guy. Amazing durability and then to get crocked at his biggest moment. That sucks.

That could be a huge loss. AWJ's mana will be really missed as the team gels together

Maaaaate, his face before and during going off. Next to devastation in the dictionary.

Anybody seen this from Gatland, continuing to endear himself to NZ?
"There was an orchestrated campaign in the New Zealand media to try to unsettle me. That really threw me,” Gatland said.
Of course, he then seems to back down on this, or at least contradict himself, with...
“I’ve never been a person who has worried about external influences,” said Gatland
I think the truer way to describe your experience, Warren, would be
"The New Zealand Media, following the fickle public opinion, took a dislike to me. And I didn't like that. And that just became a death-spiral. Still - I'll say whatever you like to get some sweet sweet headlines in the British media leading up to the Lions tour."
